Mammoplasty is the most common operation in plastic surgery. It happens that there is a need for a repeat operation. Among the reasons for which correctional mammoplasty is performed, the most common reason is pregnancy and subsequent breastfeeding or a significant reduction in body weight. Possible causes may also be the occurrence of complications in the form of capsular contracture, infectious processes, displacement, rupture, prolapse and much more.

Capsular contracture or mammary fibrosis

This phenomenon is associated with the body’s delimitation of a foreign body, which is an implant. Tissue compaction occurs around it, the woman feels compression and discomfort. Usually this process occurs in the first year after plastic surgery. In subsequent years, mammary fibrosis is rare. Contracture manifests itself as asymmetry or thickening of the mammary glands. If the compaction is not strong, excision of the fibrous ring is performed to release the implant and correct the shape of the breast. When the fibrous formation has a pronounced form, the fibrous capsule is completely removed, the prosthesis is removed and replaced with a new one.

To avoid the appearance of capsular contracture, you must follow the recommendations of your plastic surgeon. After mammoplasty, you must constantly wear compression garments, do not lift anything heavy, and do not strain your chest muscles for a certain period.

If breast compaction, pain, or changes in shape appear, you should immediately contact a surgeon, who will perform an examination and, if necessary, perform an ultrasound and prescribe treatment.

Gel leakage from the implant

Rupture of the prosthesis and leakage of gel from it is another complication that requires an immediate visit to the doctor and correction with the installation of a new one. If you identify the damage in time and contact a surgeon, you can avoid serious complications. This phenomenon is quite rare and occurs as a result of strong mechanical impact on the chest, for example, during an accident or as a result of piercing wounds to the chest wall.

This damage may not be noticeable and may manifest itself later in the form of discomfort or pain, changes in the shape and density of the breast. Some women wait for the discomfort to disappear on its own. This cannot be done, since the problem in the form of leaked gel will not go away on its own. It is necessary to contact a plastic surgeon to remove the implant and install a new one.

Other reasons for secondary surgery

There are many other reasons why it is necessary to remove the old implant and install a new one:

• inflammation or infection. These phenomena can be provoked within a month after the operation, so the woman needs to keep in touch with the doctor and, if necessary, visit him for an examination;
• The implants installed two decades ago are made of other materials: heavier, less durable, the imperfect shell of which requires replacement;
• physiological changes in the body. As a woman ages, her body undergoes natural changes and breast correction may be required. Some women decide to improve their breasts with age: change their shape or size, as well as their location;
• change in symmetry after lactation. Breasts may become asymmetrical over time. This is a common situation during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Slight asymmetry of the female mammary glands is normal and in most cases does not require surgical intervention or correction.

Contraindications for breast replacement

In some situations, mammoplasty is strictly not recommended:

• oncological formations in the mammary glands. Treatment of the underlying disease is necessary after which the breast can be restored using implants.
• pregnancy. Doctors do not recommend performing any surgical manipulations on the body during this period, except in situations where the woman’s health or life is in danger;
• lactation. When feeding a baby, a woman’s breasts change and surgical intervention is undesirable. Even if asymmetry appears, doctors recommend waiting until the end of the lactation period and only then taking corrective measures;
• exacerbation of chronic diseases and decreased immunity. In such situations, there is a high probability of complications, for example, in the form of infections.

Rehabilitation after mammoplasty

After any surgical intervention there is a rehabilitation period. With primary breast surgery, the adjustment process takes quite a long time and requires constant supervision by a doctor. During secondary implantation, when the prostheses are replaced with new ones, the process is less painful, faster and easier. If the prosthesis is placed in an already formed bed, where the previous one was, then the rehabilitation will go almost unnoticed. There may be only minor swelling and bruising, which is normal with any surgical procedure. If the location changes, for example, it is placed under the pectoral muscles, and was previously located above it, then the body will need a longer time to adapt.

Before planning breast augmentation surgery, it is worth considering some factors that may lead to the need for repeat surgery in the future. A woman needs to take into account the possibility of pregnancy and the lactation period, and allow time for rehabilitation after the operation itself. An experienced surgeon will be able to foresee the likelihood of complications and suggest options to avoid them.

Leading breast implant manufacturers offer a lifetime warranty on their products. Similar promises are made in plastic surgery clinics. But what is the situation like in reality? The average lifespan of breast implants is 10-15 years. This does not mean that during this time it can become thin and its contents leak out. In reality, this means only one thing - over time, inevitable changes in the figure and breast tissue occur. In particular, their omission may occur. Muscle and fat tissues also change. This is what leads to the need to replace the breast implant with a more suitable one. But this does not mean that the implant itself is worn out. In fact, the materials from which it is made are much less susceptible to change than the tissues of the human body. And if our body did not change, implants could last almost forever. Preconceptions about the durability of breast implants have a long history. The first silicone implants, which appeared in the 1960s, were indeed not very durable and did not guarantee against leakage. The situation was even worse with implants filled with saline solution. The leakage of saline solution was less of a problem than the leakage of silicone, but it happened more often. As for modern implants, they use a cohesive gel as a filler. It is characterized by extremely low fluidity and does not leak even if the implant is physically damaged. On the other hand, the shell of modern breast implants is such that it can withstand even extreme overloads, such as in a car accident. The only way to damage it is to pierce it.

However, from time to time scandals break out, such as with PIP breast implants, whose manufacturers, in order to save money, filled them not with medical, but with industrial silicone.

In addition, it turned out that they were leaking. However, such stories relate more to criminal law than to plastic surgery.

Compared to the last decade, the choice of modern and high-quality implants on the world market of manufacturers has now become much more diverse and richer. There is certainly a tendency that many plastic surgeons work with the products of one manufacturer, and there is nothing wrong with that. The choice is usually made on the basis of the reliability and quality of the product, as well as the availability of a wide selection of the company.

Manufacturers of modern breast implants for breast surgery guarantee that their products do not cause neoplasms and do not in any way affect the ability of an infant to breastfeed. One could talk about the lifelong possibility of having an implant inside your body, but it is almost impossible to guarantee that your breasts will retain their shape in an unchanged state. For example, a woman may give birth, causing her breasts to become deformed.

No one can guarantee that in 5-15 years a woman’s figure will not undergo any changes. She may gain weight or lose weight, which will disrupt the proportionality of the once correctly selected implant. Therefore, the need for implant replacement and breast lift is common, so be prepared for it.

What else can cause the replacement of an old implant with a new one?

• The patient's desire to change the shape or size of the breast again
• Liquid leakage or casing rupture
• The desire to change the old implant to a more modern and “fashionable” one
• Inflammation in the area where the implant is located

The need to replace a breast implant with a modern type should also be taken into account.

However, plastic surgery is not aware of sufficiently compelling arguments indicating the absolute need to replace an implant within a certain period of time, if it is no longer modern. It only needs to be replaced if there is a defect in the shell or if it is damaged. Also, if there is inflammation in the area where the implant is placed, which cannot be treated with a conservative method.

The average lifespan of an implant can vary from 5 to 15 years depending on the type of implant. But in fact, implants are much more durable and less susceptible to age-related changes in the body than your own tissue.

An implant can only deteriorate if folds form on its shell. It is in the places where these folds form that the shell can wear out and fray. For this reason, implants made from highly cohesive helium are more durable as they do not wrinkle.

It is important to understand that with age, the weight of breast implants can cause breast tissue to stretch, requiring additional correction. Although many manufacturers give a so-called “lifetime guarantee,” this actually means the possibility of free replacement of the implant with a new one. True, the guarantee of the service life of implants does not apply to all cases.

Science is moving forward. There is no doubt that cosmetic surgery will make progress and new advanced types of breast implants will be created. And maybe soon breast implants will truly last forever.

Although breast implants are not considered lifelong devices, this does not mean that they cannot last for many years. There are women whose implants lasted 10, 20, 30 years and even more.

Implants can be filled with saline solution or silicone gel.

The shell of the saline and silicone implant is made of durable silicone. It has high durability and does not pose a threat to health.

Despite the fact that the shell of both types of implants is made of silicone and the fillers are different, saline implants are just as durable as silicone ones.

They differ in elasticity. Saline implants are more affordable and softer. Silicone implants are more elastic and hold their shape better.

Reasons for possible implant replacement or removal

Think of the implant shell as the skin on your face. You can determine a person's lifestyle by the wrinkles on his face. These wrinkles appear as a result of repeating the same actions over and over again.

For example, from laughing or squinting. The same can happen with implants.

When the shells interact with each other for a long time, regardless of the filler of the implant, “folds” are formed on it. The integrity of the shell may be damaged, which may ultimately lead to rupture.

Another reason why breast implants may be replaced is due to breast hardening. This is called capsular contracture.

This is when the collagen fibers inside the capsule that surrounds the breast implant harden, causing the breast to harden. When the level of capsular contracture has reached the need for surgery, the implant may be replaced with a new implant or sterilized and reimplanted in the breast.

How to extend the life of breast implants

The longer you have breast implants, the more likely it is that complications will occur over time. By distinguishing implants by type and content, you can more easily determine what to do to prevent possible complications.

Saline implants

Saline implants will last longer if they are filled with the solution as much as possible. Unfilled saline implants will form “wrinkles” and eventually rupture. Unfilled saline implants are more at risk than silicone implants.

The failure rate for saline implants in a recent study was 5.6%.

Of the 48 saline implants studied, 26 implants were not filled. However, overfilling the implant with solution can also lead to ruptures.

Silicone implants

Silicone implants have a huge advantage over saline ones in that the silicone gel is more solid and not liquid like a saline solution.

This means that if a silicone implant ruptures, the gel will remain intact and will most likely retain the shape of the implant. By being more stable in shape and having the ability to stay in shape even after rupture, silicone implants will have a longer lifespan.

What is the real shelf life of breast implants?

The implant can last 3 months or 50 years.

No one can guarantee his life expectancy. If you have a breast implant that ruptured or are experiencing complications, check the warranty on it. The cost may be minimal to you since the manufacturer will likely cover the cost of replacement.

Mammoplasty with breast augmentation is very popular these days. But despite the fact that operations have been performed for quite a long time, there is still a lot of unknowns. And one of the most common questions: do implants need to be changed? The answer depends on various circumstances that arise during the use of endoprostheses.

Read in this article

Can implants wear out?

Fears that after mammoplasty you will have to replace implants more than once are mainly associated with the likelihood of them wearing out. This possibility really exists, although manufacturers claim that their products have a lifetime warranty. In fact, there are many possibilities for thinning and damage to the implant shell:

• exposure from the inside to saline solution, silicone or hydrogel;

• influence on the material of living tissues in contact with it;

• the formation of folds and kinks on the surface, which increases the likelihood of a decrease in the thickness of the endoprosthesis;

• defect in the manufacture of the product.

The first implants wore out at 5% per year. The longer their service life, the higher the risk of damage. Naturally, it is better not to wait until the endoprosthesis breaks down and the contents get into the breast tissue, but to replace it.

Selecting an implant by size

It is easy to understand that most of the reasons for the shortened shelf life of implants are related to their size. The larger it is, the higher the likelihood of rapid wear. And yet, among the reasons for their replacement, the latter is rarely recorded. After all, the service life of modern implants is up to 15 years. Some women do not change them for longer. But during this time, other factors come into play, forcing a repeat operation.

If, during a regular examination, no damage to the endoprosthesis is noticed, the woman is satisfied with her appearance and well-being; she should talk to her doctor about the need for replacement. Perhaps it is not needed.

Reasons for replacement

Despite the reliability of the material from which the “new breasts” are made, repeated augmentation surgeries are not that uncommon. Whether it is necessary to change breast implants is determined not only by the possibility of disintegration of their shell and seepage of filler into living tissues. There are several groups of reasons for revision mammoplasty.

New models

Since breast implants were first introduced, they have improved significantly. New types of shells, forms and fillers have appeared. Replacing smooth implants with textured ones made it possible to avoid many complications during the engraftment process. The teardrop shape makes it possible to make the breasts more natural. The hydrogel filler minimizes harm due to possible leakage of the implant contents. And the possibility of placing new types of endoprostheses under muscle rather than glandular tissue makes breasts indistinguishable from natural ones to the touch.

All this becomes the reason why women replace their existing implants. The more advanced the endoprosthesis model, the better not only the appearance of the breast, but also the higher the safety. Therefore, many women replaced, for example, saline implants with . Others prefer the latter to the former, considering them safer.

Changes in tastes

Whether it is necessary to change breast implants also depends on the purely aesthetic preferences of the breast owner, which may become different. After all, the canons of beauty are varied; lush breasts, which for many years seemed to be the standard, can become boring. Or a woman will want to change her image, into which an outstanding bust does not fit. And there is a chance to adjust the size if you install smaller implants.

But most often women strive to make their bust even larger. After the breast takes its final form, the swelling goes away, they feel that it is not appetizing enough. And after living with the new size for several years, the woman decides to undergo a new operation to replace the endoprostheses.

Age-related changes, including body size

How often to replace breast implants may also depend on the period of life in which they were installed. If a girl had mammoplasty at the age of 20 - 30, most likely she will become pregnant, give birth and breastfeed later. Natural processes occurring in the mammary glands lead to changes in their own tissues. Ligaments and skin reduce elasticity. The breasts sag along with the implants and no longer look as perfect as before.

Waves on the skin after installation of a prosthesis

The changes will be especially noticeable when the implant is of significant size, and if it was placed under the gland and not the pectoral muscle. But in the second case, unaesthetic changes are not excluded. The mammary glands may remain in the same place, and the tissues located above slide down. Then you have to do at least a tightening. But if the first operation was performed more than 5 years ago, it would be logical and useful to replace the implants.

Similar problems can arise when a woman's weight changes. Losing weight changes the overall proportions of the body, and therefore can bring disharmony to your appearance. The breasts will not look as natural as they did at their previous weight. To restore the natural appearance, you have to do a new mammoplasty with implants of a more appropriate size.

Consequences of unsuccessful installation

Whether it is necessary to change implants after mammoplasty may also depend on how you feel. After the operation, complications are likely to arise that will not allow you to leave everything as it is. First of all, this is the formation of capsular contracture. The problem develops during the first year after surgery. A capsule of connective tissue is formed around the implant. It helps to hold the endoprosthesis; its appearance in this place is normal. But if the thickness of the capsule is too large, it prevents you from feeling normal. There is pain or at least discomfort in the chest. And externally the mammary glands do not look as we would like. This situation requires removal of the implants, and subsequently a new operation. Sometimes just replacing the endoprosthesis with another type will help solve the problem. The tissues will not react so sharply, and the capsule will form correctly, without excessive density and thickness, without causing discomfort.

Most women who see a plastic surgeon and express a desire to enlarge their breasts do not even suspect that implants are not installed for life, and over time they will need re-endoprosthetics. Indeed, breast prostheses have a service life, after which they wear out.

How long can you walk with breast implants?, and when can’t you refuse to replace them? We will try to answer these and other questions, having the professional opinion of the majority of authoritative experts in the field of breast plastic surgery.

Do I need to change breast implants?

How long does it take to install breast endoprostheses? The fear that after mammoplasty will have to regularly change implants frightens many women. They are associated primarily with information about the likely wear of prostheses. Indeed, doctors always warn the fair sex about possible complications of the operation and the need for repeated surgery. Implants can wear out for various reasons:

• internal exposure to saline solution, silicone or hydrogel, which thins the shell of the prosthesis;
• influence on the material of surrounding living tissues and immune cells;
• formation of folds on the surface, which increases the likelihood of a decrease in the thickness of the implant capsule;
• manufacturing defects and low quality materials.

So, do you need to change your breast implants over time after mammoplasty? The latest technologies make it possible to create endoprostheses of the mammary glands, which are distinguished by the durability and strength of the materials used. Such implants have a long service life and do not need frequent replacement. Sometimes women wear dentures all their lives without thinking about the need to replace them with new ones.

Shelf life of breast implants

How often do you need to change breast prostheses to avoid complications? A decade ago, doctors recommended replacing them every 10 years. Today the picture has changed. Scientists have been able to create lifelong breast implants because the processes and materials used to make them have been improved. As positive as this may sound, there are a number of reasons why women undergo repeat surgery.

Indications for implant replacement

Let's consider the reasons why women are most often prescribed surgery to remove previous breast implants and install new ones.

Aging of implanted materials

Over time, any prosthesis ages, and breast implants (for example, with a saline filler) are no exception. The speed of this process depends on several factors, namely: the body’s reaction to a foreign body, the location of the prosthesis. Breast implants in old age have a greater chance of destruction of the shell and are prone to leakage and change in shape.

Aesthetic preferences

Sometimes patients want to change the shape or size of the prosthesis. In such cases, they talk about aesthetic reasons for repeat mammoplasty. Naturally, such an intervention is possible only after a certain time after the previous procedure, when the swelling has subsided and post-operative wounds have healed.

Age-related changes

Often the reason for replacing the endoprosthesis is its sagging. And patients mistakenly believe that the implant itself is to blame, but in reality this is due to age-related or hormonal changes in the woman’s body. Prostheses lose their quality and functional characteristics due to breastfeeding, pregnancy, weight gain or loss, etc.

Development of complications

Another reason why prosthesis replacement is necessary is complications after surgery. No one knows at what time breast implant rejection or damage may occur, but the likelihood of such processes is present in women who have undergone surgery.

Does a damaged breast implant poison the patient’s body? The filling of modern endoprostheses is biocompatible with human tissue. If an implant consisting of a hydrogel is damaged, it breaks down into glucose, carbon dioxide and water and does not cause any harm to health.

How does the replacement work?

Knowing how long do breast implants last?, it becomes obvious that sooner or later there will be a need to change them. The process of carrying out such a procedure consists of two main stages:

• preparatory period;
• reendoprosthetics.

At the preparation stage, the patient visits a plastic surgeon. He conducts a thorough examination of her, evaluates the results of mammography and gives recommendations regarding lifestyle before surgery. During this time, taking herbal medicines, as well as drinking alcohol and smoking is prohibited.

The operation itself lasts from one to two hours, depending on its volume and complexity. The replacement of endoprostheses occurs under general anesthesia. It includes several main stages:

• removal of previous implants by cutting the skin along the line of scar formation from the first operation and removing old prostheses;
• capsulotomy or excision of the capsule formed around the implant with partial removal of fibrous formations;
• installation of endoprostheses in an already formed bed or one created specifically for the size of a new implant.

Women with breast implants must wear compression garments for a month after plastic surgery. Also, throughout the entire rehabilitation period, patients are prohibited from visiting the bathhouse and sauna, going to the solarium or sunbathing in direct sunlight, or engaging in sports or physical labor until the tissues heal.

Dangers of repeat surgery

With any surgical intervention there is a risk of complications, especially when it comes to repeated correction. Among the most common negative consequences of re-endoprosthetics are:

• formation of contractures;
• formation of hematomas and seromas;
• infection of the intervention site as a result of the attachment of pathogenic microorganisms to the wound;
• the appearance of keloid and hypertrophic scarring zones;
• increase in general body temperature due to the occurrence of an inflammatory reaction;
• displacement, rupture or leakage of the endoprosthesis;
• development of a double fold;
• allergy to the material from which the implant is made;
• fusion of mammary glands.

Even the most modern breast implants are installed under general anesthesia, after which side effects may occur in the form of dysfunction of the central nervous system, thromboembolism, and pathological manifestations of the cardiovascular system and kidneys.

Prevention of complications

Women who have silicone implants replaced should know how to prevent the possible negative consequences of the operation. Such preventive measures include:

• strict implementation of all recommendations of the plastic surgeon in the postoperative period;
• mandatory use of antibacterial drugs in the first days after plastic surgery and in case of elevated body temperature;
• wearing special compression garments;
• the right choice of endoprostheses from well-known manufacturers with a positive reputation.

Factors affecting wear

Among the reasons that determine the service life of breast implants, the following are in first place in importance:

• age characteristics;
• pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• changes in gland size due to weight loss or gain;
• the reaction of a woman’s body to the introduction of a foreign body into it;
• location of endoprostheses.

The lifespan of implants largely depends on their quality. Cheap breast prostheses very often begin to leak, change shape or rupture as they wear out. Such changes usually occur after a chest injury, as well as as a result of surgeon errors.

Studying the question of how many years you can wear breast implants, experts found that most women after mammoplasty were satisfied with the result and understand the importance of changing endoprostheses. Despite this, there is also a large percentage of the fair sex for whom breast augmentation surgery did not end entirely successfully. In such patients at plastic surgery clinics, dissatisfaction is associated with the following postoperative complications:

• rupture and leakage of the endoprosthesis;
• discrepancy between the resulting breast shape and the one declared by the woman before surgery;
• the body's reaction to foreign material;
• the occurrence of other undesirable consequences of the operation.

Do not forget that after installation of breast implants you need to undergo an annual breast examination. This will help prevent the development of pathological conditions and maintain the woman’s health.

Tatyana (32 years old, Odintsovo), 05/30/2017

Good afternoon, Maxim. It's my birthday soon, so I want to give myself a gift in the form of breast augmentation. It is important to note that I want to have my breasts done in the summer, and during this period I begin to become allergic to the pollen of flowering plants. I can’t say that my condition is becoming critical, but I feel very bad. Is it possible to have breast augmentation during this period? What pills to take during rehabilitation. Thanks for the answer. Tanya.

Good afternoon, Tatyana. I do not recommend breast augmentation surgery during an allergy flare-up. It is worth waiting until there is no allergy to undergo surgery. Sincerely, plastic surgeon Maxim Osin!

Irina (26 years old, Korolev), 05/27/2017

Hello, Maxim Alexandrovich! I am planning to enlarge my breasts, but at the moment I am still feeding my daughter (Breastfeeding). Tell me, after what period can enlargement surgery be performed? Irina

Good afternoon, Irina. Breast augmentation surgery can only be performed six months after the last day of lactation. Sincerely, plastic surgeon Maxim Osin!

Liliya (25 years old, Moscow), 05/25/2017

Good morning! It so happened that by nature I have very small breasts. I'm worried about surgery. I'm afraid there will be very visible scars. Traces from the operation will remain. Perhaps you can recommend how else you can enlarge your breasts without implants? Are there recommended injections? Best regards, Lilya.

Hello, Lilia! At the moment, I consider the only acceptable method of breast augmentation to be plastic surgery using implants. After the operation, traces remain minimal, and post-operative scars are difficult to see. Do not worry, as the result after this operation will certainly pleasantly surprise you. Sincerely, plastic surgeon Maxim Osin!

Kristina (27 years old, Moscow), 05/24/2017

Good afternoon, Maxim Alexandrovich. My friend had her breasts done by you, and now I also want to have my breasts enlarged, because after pregnancy I am not at all happy with their shape. Tell me, what forms are there? My friend chose the round shape of the implants, but for my taste round looks unnatural. What advice could you give in this matter?

Good afternoon There are enough implants to choose the shape that suits you. The shape can be: anatomical, spherical, teardrop-shaped and round. I can only recommend a particular form of implant after I have seen your breasts and their condition after pregnancy. I suggest you sign up for an in-person consultation. Sincerely, plastic surgeon Maxim Osin!

Olga (25 years old, Moscow), 03/15/2017

I live in another city. How many days should I set aside for breast augmentation surgery? Is it possible to get tested in your city and come only for the operation?

It's possible. First you need to select the day of the operation. We send you a list of tests and you take them in advance in your city. On the eve of the operation, you must come for a consultation, at which the doctor will select implants for you, taking into account your wishes and anatomical features. After the operation, you are in the hospital for a day, then you are discharged and you come back to have the stitches removed in 3-4 days. And the doctor releases you. That is, you will need 4-5 days for the trip.

Olga (28 years old, Moscow), December 18, 2016

Hello? Maxim. I want to enlarge my breasts. How can it be if I have stretch marks on my chest??

Good afternoon The presence of stretch marks does not affect the operation. Unfortunately, it is impossible to remove stretch marks. With the help of cosmetic treatments they can be made less noticeable.

Anastasia (27 years old, Moscow), November 29, 2016

Hello, Maxim Alexandrovich! My husband and I go to the gym, the load is not significant, but still... I want to get implants and would like to know how long it will take to return to sports?

Good afternoon, Anastasia! As a rule, you can return to sports within a month and a half after surgery. However, it will be necessary to obtain the doctor’s permission after he assesses the integrity of the stitches.

Victoria (32 years old, Moscow), November 28, 2016

Hello, I am a male transvestite, and I want to make myself a woman’s breasts (enlarge). What is needed for this, to what size can it be increased, and how much will it cost??? Thanks in advance.

Good afternoon. The cost of the operation is 250,000. The size and shape of the implants can be determined during a consultation. The implants are installed under the pectoral muscle, the incision remains almost invisible.

Kristina (18 years old, Moscow), 09/20/2016

Hello, Maxim Alexandrovich! I have a zero breast size, I would like (ideally) a fourth... I myself am slim, they tell me that there can be a big load on my back. This is true?? I am 18 years old. Best regards, Christina!

Hello, Christina! There is no actual limitation when it comes to breast augmentation, but an experienced professional will consider each individual case. In your case, it is probably not advisable to increase to a size four. Because there will indeed be a large load on the back and the risk of unnatural-looking implants. In addition, you will need several operations, since surgeons do not perform breast augmentation by 4 sizes at once. More precisely, I can answer your question during a face-to-face consultation. Come and we will help you!

Irina (23 years old, Moscow), 09/18/2016

Hello, Maxim Alexandrovich! I had a breast augmentation ten years ago (two sizes, now three). Recently, my breasts have sagged a little, and it has become noticeable that I am wearing implants. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advance, Irina.

Hello, Irina! We can perform breast lift surgery and implant replacement, which will completely solve your problem. Come to us for a consultation and we will help you!
